Hello all. I attended the workshop in Atlanta with Mike Snider this Sunday and learned a couple of things about how the upgrade is going to be handled. He said that it will be a TDW-1 upgrade and that you will be asked to remove your TDW-1 and ship it to Roland. Upon receipt of your TDW-1, they will then ship a new cymbal compatible TDW-1 to you at their expense, in the same manner you shipped to them. So, if you ship Fed-X overnight they will get it out the day they receive it overnight back to you. They will also have a method in place for people that can't be without their TD-10 for a couple of days. This will require you to order a new TDW-1 and they will charge the purchase to your credit card. Upon receipt of the new TDW-1, you send your old one to them and they will credit your credit card.
One other thing I found out about the ride cymbal is that in order work properly (3 zones) you run 2 cables out of the cymbal and the second cable goes to your Aux. 1 input. I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I was not thrilled to hear that I would give up that input since I already use both Aux. inputs. The cymbals themselves really are nice though. I only was able to play them for a minute, but I really liked the way they feel. The sounds are not upgraded in any way but the motion of the cymbals is very natural.
